Programs

Compassionate Action for Animals exists to educate the public about farmed animal suffering and to build an animal-friendly community in the Twin Cities region.

Compassionate Action for Animals is an inspirational example of the powerful change grassroots organizations can accomplish. Through their many forms of thought-provoking public outreach and education, CAA has opened the hearts and minds of countless individuals to the plight of farmed animals.

Outreach

Our outreach work is focused on talking to people who don’t know about the immense suffering inherent in factory farming. We talk to them about the the conditions on factory farm and about how the animals on these farms are just as worthy of consideration as the animals that live with us in our homes.

Most of our outreach work is focused on our target demographic of college students and young adults. People are still forming their values at this stage, and we’ve found that this is the most receptive audience for our message.

Documentaries and movies present unique insights for viewers of the animals’ plight in a way that words and photographs perhaps cannot. Learn more.

Community-Building

Motivating people to take a first step for animals is very important, but we think that it’s just as important to help stay committed to animal protection. Our community-building activities include potlucks, dine-outs, and other social events that bring the animal-friendly community in the Twin Cities area together.
